we introduce a new smooth, non-toxic, biocompatible method for cross-linking of gum tragacanth (gt), a polysaccharide of natural origin, in order to serve as a new supporting matrix for immobilization systems.  the modified gum is used as a matrix for the catalysis of the conversion of benzyl penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-apa) by means of escherichia coli atcc11105 with penicillin g...

bioelectronics has attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in various disciplines, such as biomedical. development of efficient bio-nano hybrid materials is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. a novel nano-bio hybrid electrode based on zno–protein for bioelectronics applications was prepared and characterized. the electrode was made by coval...

Nanostructured electrochemical sensors often suffer from irreversible aggregation and poor adhesion to the supporting materials, resulting in reduced sensitivity and selectivity over time. We describe a versatile method for fabrication of a H2O2 sensor by immobilizing copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs; 20 nm) on graphene oxide (GO) sheets via in-situ reduction of copper(II) on a polydopamine (PDA) c...

Objective(s): Enzyme immobilization via nanoparticles is perfectly compatible against the other chemical or biological approximate to improve enzyme functions and stability. In this study lactoperoxidase was immobilized onto silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to improve enzyme properties in the presence of cadmium chloride as an inhibitor. Materials and Methods:  The process consists of the ...

Background; Enzymes are well known as sensitive catalysts in the laboratory and industrial scale. To improve their properties and for using their significant potential in various reactions as a useful catalyst the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. Enzymes Immobilization on solid supports such as epoxy- functionalized ferric silica nanocomposite can be effective way to improve ...
